If you dont have a whorl that fits your medieval spindle, turn out some dense bulky weight handspun also suffices. This is spindle 4 of the hand combed southdown babydoll top. Not sure if ill need a 5th ply or not; i guess after i finish this ill just ply a few yards and see how consistent and thick it is.
This particular spindle is pretty much the closest ive done to an accurate medieval spindle, as far as i can tell. It was made not from a branch/stick like i tend to prefer but from a section of a very large evergreen bough i dragged home and split with wooden wedges (as was the preferred way to process wood--just split it with wooden wedges and then use a metal hand tool to refine it further). I kept it without my preferred onion dome tip for the sake of the reproduction, altho it is causing the usual issues for me of the cop sliding up the tip.
Once ive got a few more grams of wool on there i'll take off the dark brown woolen whorl and it'll spin on its own.
Definitely wanna make more of these guys--its just that splitting the wood is pretty tedious when large sections are unusable, because its very unpredictable to split, so i end up with lots of wasted time on scrap. It's an interesting way of spindle making, tho. Afaik this is also how you'd make large batches of arrows; take a log, split it into many small pieces, and refine into arrow shafts from there. When you want to make a couple hundred arrows, its a lot faster to do this than to go find a couple hundred suitable sticks. Im not looking to make that many spindles, but im starting to run out of suitable sticks, so...

Personal digital artwork. Poem in the background below.
I drew the babydoll artwork in Illustrator and edited rest of the image in photoshop.
Forgotten babydoll
In a garden of whispers, forgotten and still,
Lies an old baby doll, with a story to spill.
Once cherished and loved, with a porcelain face,
Now abandoned, alone, in this tranquil place.
Time has worn thin the colors that bloomed,
The doll's delicate features, once adored and assumed.
But the garden embraces this relic of yore,
A symbol of memories, forgotten no more.
As the seasons danced by, with their whimsical tune,
Nature's touch painted a canvas anew.
Where once were the eyes, so vibrant and bright,
Now blooms burst forth, a kaleidoscope of light.
Petals unfurl like secrets, whispered through time,
Tenderness and decay intertwined in their prime.
Crimson roses and daisies, a floral parade.
[ALT: Porcelain babydoll torso with hands in the air on a light green background. The doll is missing it's head, but instead there are serval flowers blooming and leaves growing in it's place. A poem about the forgotten babydoll in the background. Forgotten babydoll text at the bottom]
